Case Study Assignments

Each student will participate in:

• One Fishbowl team: you’ll lead the case discussion for a specific case study
• One Observer team: the week after your Fishbowl discussion, you’ll observe and reflect on the next team’s discussion

All students, except the fishbowl team, submit a pre-class reflection every week.

You only need to sign up for one Fishbowl week—your Observer role will be assigned based on that.
